Tliu Hulcldtit attempt of Captain Webb to swim tho molds below Niagara Falls and his death cicaleda proiouiul sensation here. Tlio news papers all published Ihu particulars as Jar as received, with long-winded edi torial notices In which the unfortu nate man Is "lauded to the skies," If 1'u tu re generations happen on onu of these notices, they will conclude that Captain Webb was one of thu greatest of the gieatmettof the world in Oie nineteenth century. Such supeilativc terms its "uiiparalled daring," "utiap proaohablo couragu," "wondorlnl nerve," and dozens ol thu samo kind are scattered Illicitly through them, and aio only explainable on the hy pothesis that the "gallant 'cupt'ilir' was an Kngllslimaii.

Yesterday was published the narra tive of not only a lumiirkablc but most commendable act of herobnt per formed at sea.

"iron ami steel," wo lead, "were knocked to pieces. A suppoitlng pillar of wronghl iron, a loot in thickness, was broken In two, and onu piece, wiighingaton, was bit tin out, so to sneak," It was very soon understood that if the fearful Hi milling movement was not arrested by lite stoppage of iho engines the ship's plates lu the neighborhood of the whirling body of steel would be beaten out, and iluit she would sink like lead. It so happened, however, that tlio brake which controlled the vast piece of mechanism was situated within two fret of tho i evolving mass. Clouds of scalding sicuni hid It from view, and the storm of sparks which, wore thrown up threatened death to jmiy map who approached (lie spot. I .in- nei-oiiu enamour, a .ncoiCJlliiail named Andrew Lautbtit, dunorlbed as a "tali, brawny man, of some three or fourand thirty," was on duty In the enginc-ioom.
